Multiple Arrests Made in Brampton Theft Investigation

Region of Peel – Investigators from the 22 Division Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) have arrested and charged six individuals in a theft investigation in Brampton.

In December 2024, investigators became aware of a significant increase in theft of butter and ghee from grocery stores within the Region of Peel, with losses of over $60,000 in stolen property. This is an increase of nearly 135 per cent compared to 2023 and there were over 180 similar incidents reported to Peel Regional Police.

Project Flaherty was established to target and combat the increase in butter and ghee thefts. As a result, three individuals were charged with Possession of Property Obtained by Crime:

• Vishavjeet Singh, a 22-year-old man of no-fixed address
• Sukmander Singh, a 23-year-old man from Brampton
• Dalwal Sidhu, a 28-year-old man from Brampton

In addition, three individuals were arrested and charged with Theft Under $5000:

• Navdeep Chaudhary, a 22-year-old man from Brampton
• Kamaldeep Singh, a 38-year-old man of no-fixed address
• Harkerat Singh, a 25-year-old man of no-fixed address

The six individuals will appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton at a later date.

CIB continues to investigate these incidents, including which businesses are accepting these stolen products.
